[SOLVED] ffmpeg dependency missing from PKGBUILD

ffmpeg 2:8.0.1-6 doesn't list sndio as a dependency but without it installed you get

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libsndio.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sndio was a dependency for sdl3 (and ffmpeg requires sdl2, provided by sdl2-compat) but now it is an opt-dep, maybe that caused this problem?

The same problem, not listing sndio as a dependency, is true for mpv 1:0.41.0-3.
